An adjustable line anchor assembly to secure both ends of a trapeze line to the boom of a sailboard is described. One end of the anchor carries a spool onto which the trapeze line winds. The spool permits the line length of the trapeze to be easily adjusted, even while sailing. The spool has locking means to lock the spool at a given setting. This prevents the slipping or release of the trapeze line while sailing. A clamp allows the position of the anchor on the boom to be easily adjusted while sailing.
